I think I have lost my mind, which has been a recurrent somatization, brought about by reading the news, since 2001.
But today, maybe it was first reading about how Walter Reed was privatized by a Halliburton subsudiary, the same one that didn't get ice to Katrina victims, and then reading insightful commentary re: WR on conservative blogs along the lines of "this is what you get when you get socialized medicine"
and THEN coming across this...which...I don't understand. This is beyond ironiagnosia. I just don't understand. What does this article mean? Did I hallucinate it?
A group of women gathered Friday at the Bainbridge Island Senior Center.
They are part of a knitting group growing across the United States.
It only It looks like a knitting club.
This is much more than knit one, purl two. This is politics.
"The whole problem of putting them on the dolphins is one of the things we have to consider in the future. It's an interesting thought," said Jan Bailey, one of the knitters.
The women are knitting sweaters for warm-water bottlenose dolphins. The Navy wants to put them on Homeland Security patrol here.
One of the knitters Karin Beran says that's cruel, but says the dolphins will know what to do with the sweaters.
"Well, I guess the dolphins are so smart, so they can figure it out, if and how and when. I'm just happy to knit for them," Beran said.
They've thought of everything. Susan Scheirman showed me a multi-colored yarn.
"We've imported camouflage yarn for these local dolphins," she said, "so they don't become subject to any kind of terrorism."
The song (see title) makes it very Zovietgeist, somehow, but beyond that...
I keep thinking of some comparison, allusion, metaphor, anything to put it in context and make is make some kind of sense in my poor brain, but no.
The Zeitgeist-engineered Total Semiotic Implosion is now complete.
Tra-la-la-la Arf.
